<<<<<We dress up…………..!! Live music in the Corporate area often reflects an aim by the client to provide memorable experiences for their guests by incorporating themes into their functions. This means the clients are looking for a band to tailor the repertoire so that the theme of the night is enhanced through the songs played. As a result of regular client demand, Nearly Famous morphed into the Twang Gang and Calypso Crew variations which have been popular and successful. |
Theme Nights |
<<<< Nearly Famous was for some eighteen months, resident band at the Atrium Hotel, Mandurah playing on Fridays and Sundays in Pontoons Restaurant. The band also performed in the downstairs “Peppers Bar and Lounge” at the Atrium, with a focus on the Mersey beat songs from the 1960's. |

A very enjoyable evening we went home exhausted but happy. |

A fantastic way to see out the old year and to welcome in 2014 |
